This Drill of the Week created on CoachThem can be used as a warmup drill that mimics a game-like scenario and a full shift. Forwards and defenceman will find themselves on both sides of the puck. On defence, players will be forced to read the puck, work on gap control and body position while being on offence has them joining the rush and reading and reacting to create scoring opportunities. This drill can be repetitive to copy the intensity of a game.
